Portrait composition bust

Busts usually go from the subject's head to the waist, or below the waist and above the knee. In addition to facial features, they usually include hand movements. Bust has more space than close-up or close-up portrait, so it can show more background environment and make the composition more changeable. At the same time, because the picture contains the hand of the subject, it can help to express the inner state of the subject with the help of hand movements. Experienced portrait photographers pay great attention to the posture and movements of the subject's hands. Because the bust can be shot at or below the waist of the person, the posture change of the subject is much richer, which brings great convenience to the composition of the picture and enables us to shoot the subject more vividly.
